What is the downside of using prizes to promote the creation of new technology? O It slows the spread and development of those ideas by restricting competition. Government money may be misdirected towards unproductive projects. O It prohibits competition forever. O Without a market test, prizes might be given to technology which ends up being useless. According to the Solow model, what portion of total savings in the economy goes towards investment? 50% 10% 90% O 100%
In developed countries the phenomenon of population aging is happening because of longer life expectancy as well as lower birth rates and lower population growth rates. 1. Explain how the life-cycle theory can be used to deduce that while longer expected life increases individual and aggregate savings, a lower population growth rate may increase per capita saving in the short run but reduces it in the long run. 2. How does the LC theory suggest that immigration from developing countries maybe favorable for increasing aggregate consumption and savings in developed countries? In Pakistan there is currently a pensions crisis because the government did not plan pensions of public sector employees efficiently. Instead of raising funds from lifetime earnings of employees, and giving pensions as returns on savings, pensions currently require budgetary allocation in Pakistan, leading to financial burden on government. In developed countries like the US, where people plan their own…

Consider a basic Solow-Swan model. Suppose the aggregate production function is Y - AKL and that A=1, the depreciation rate is = 0.06 and the saving rate is s = 0.12. In steady state, d which of the following is TRUE? O Output per worker is 2.00 and consumption per worker is 0.24 O Output per worker is 2.00 and consumption per worker is 1.76 O Output per worker is 1.68 and consumption per worker is 1.48 O Qutput per worker is 1.68 and consumption per worker is 1.12
Many demographers predict that the UnitedStates will have zero population growth in thetwenty-first century, in contrast to average popu-lation growth of about 1 percent per year in thetwentieth century. Use the Solow model to fore-cast the effect of this slowdown in populationgrowth on the growth of total output and the growth of output per person. Consider theeffects both in the steady state and in the transi-tion between steady states.
Exercise 2: Growth and developmentCountries 1 and 2 have the production function: Yt = AiKαt L1−αt , where country 1 hasTotal Factor Productivity (TFP) of A1 = 25, country 2 has TFP A2 = 100, and α = 0.35for both. In the two countries population is constant and there is no technological progress.Every year capital depreciates by 6% in both countries. Country 1 saves 40% of output, andcountry 2 saves 20%.a) Write down the function of production per unit of labor. Suppose the two countriesstart with an initial capital stock (per unit of labor) of 500, what are the initial income andconsumption per unit of labor in both countries?b) Determine their steady state levels of capital, income and consumption per unit oflabor.c) Determine the difference in their steady state level of income per unit of labor, andhow much of that difference is due to differences in TFP and how much is due to differencesin capital per unit of labor.d) Suppose now that country 2 suddenly has access to the country 1…
Consider the Solow Model with no population or technological growth. Suppose that two countriesare identical except that in Country A the depreciation rate is greater than the depreciation rate inCountry B.a. How do you compare the steady state level of capital per worker in these countries? Illustrategraphically. Explain the economic intuition for the di erences in capital per worker in steadystate.b. Which country a higher output per worker in steady state? What about investment per workerin steady state? Explain carefully.
In a life-cycle model, a worker with constant household productivity will react to an expected decrease in wages by Select one: O A. increasing his labor supply. O B. decreasing his labor supply. O C. not changing his labor supply, since the wage increase was expected. OD. either increasing or decreasing his labor supply.
